What’s more exciting to me than any one food is not ever running out of wild food, and that is the bigger work.

— Daniel Vitalis

Did you know that some scientists say that oaks produce more nuts annually than every other nut tree—both wild and commercial—combined?

Nuts, right? (Yeah, yeah—laugh it up. The pun was intended.)

Acorns, or oak nuts, are nutritional powerhouses.

Depending on the species, a single acorn can contain up to 18% fat, 6% protein, and 68% carbohydrate—with the rest just being water, minerals, and gut-healthy fiber.

Acorns are also great sources of both vitamins A and C, as well as having a long list of essential and nonessential aminos acids.

With those numbers, it’s easy to understand why the native people here in California never resorted to agriculture and why—interestingly—they never spoke of—or created traditions for—famine.

To speak more about this abundant wild food, I'm excited to introduce to you someone I've mentioned many times on Ancestral Health Radio before: Daniel Vitalis.

I waited for what seemed like a couple years for this interview... Which, by the way, is a solid two hours. So I decided to break it up into a two-part episode, so your ears can have something to munch on later.

Daniel's helped me, as well as many of my friends, better understand ecology through ancestral lifeways.

In today's episode, you'll learn...

Why Daniel says he no longer has a morning routine,

The wild food Daniel believes is going to revolutionize food production (hint: It's "not a grain"),
